Description - Halls are honoured with instructions to offer The Tedsmore Hall Estate in West Felton for sale by Private Treaty.

Tedsmore Hall lies at the centre of an elegant rural estate spanning some 75 acres and is situated in an elevated position within the heart of the much noted north Shropshire countryside.

The estate comprises a majestic 16-bedroom grade II listed hall, complemented by mature woodland, a 1.8km cross-country track, walled garden, two-bedroom gatehouse lodge, around 6 acres of pasture/arable land and a burgeoning 14 unit hospitality complex.

Interest is welcomed from those seeking a truly remarkable country residence and from the hospitality sector who may wish to transform the estate into a wonderful rural retreat.

Location & Situation - Tedsmore Hall occupies a commanding elevated position within an idyllic rural setting around 1.5 miles to the east of the village of West Felton, which provides a respectable range of day-to-day amenities, with the nearby thriving market town of Oswestry offering a more comprehensive selection of facilities.

The surrounding county centres of Chester, Wrexham, and Shrewsbury lie to the north and south respectively, with the major cities of Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester all positioned within a commutable distance.

Road: Tedsmore Hall is served by a convenient proximity to the A5, which links the property directly to the county town of Shrewsbury whilst connecting it to the wider region.

Rail: Gobowen (8 miles), Shrewsbury (13 miles), Wem (14 miles), Crewe (35 miles). Air: Liverpool John Lennon (57 miles), Manchester (63 miles), Birmingham International (70 miles).

Schools: The property is conveniently situated for a number of well regarded schools, including West Felton CofE Primary, Packwood Haugh, Oswestry School, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall, and Adcote School for Girls.

Sporting: A wide range of golf and leisure activities are located close by, with golf at Shrewsbury and Hawkstone, horse racing at Chester, Ludlow and Bangor-on-Dee, shooting at West Midlands Shooting Ground in Hodnet, flying at Sleap Airfield and a large number of local football and cricket clubs within 10 miles.

The Accommodation - Tedsmore Hall is a sumptuously appointed 16-Bedroom country residence providing around 15,000 sq ft of lovingly maintained and architecturally significant living accommodation situated across three classically proportioned floors.

Originally dating to 1768, the hall has, over the intervening centuries, evolved to now stand as a particularly impressive home with a ground floor which comprises an array of versatile reception rooms which, whilst boasting dimensions typical of the era, retain a welcoming ambience, allowing the property to exquisitely balance majesty of the setting and arrangement with the needs of everyday living.

The upper floors continue the elegance much in evidence on the ground, with 16 refined bedrooms, some of which are interconnecting, served by 6 bathrooms, with a number being en-suite.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway which culminates to the fore of the hall, where an expanse of lawn provides sublime views to the west along a tree-lined avenue.

Immediately encompassing the hall are meticulously tended gardens segregated into a number of distinct areas, including a two-acre walled garden, mature arboretum, cobbled yard, and expanses of lawn.

Further to the gardens, the estate enjoys a Grade II listed Ice House and an array of mature woodland, alongside a circa 17 acre parcel of land which has previously been sown with arable crops.

The estate extends, in all, to around 75 acres, with consideration given to smaller divisions upon request and as outlined in blue on the accompanying land plan.

Further Accommodation - Top Lodge - Nestled at the entrance to the Hall is a two-bedroom period gate-house cottage which extends to around 800 sq ft.

The lodge is presently let on an assured shorthold tenancy with the occupants wishing to remain in situ, therefore providing purchasers with an immediate passive income.

The Stableyard - Situated a comfortable distance from the Hall and born out of the former stable yard, is a burgeoning hospitality complex comprising 14 self-contained residential units all of which are utilised as holiday lets.

Whilst in its infancy, financial projections predict an impressive EBITDA of circa £900,000 p/a, thus offering scope for the Hall to become a select hospitality attraction.

4 of the units benefit from open-market consent, with the remainder restricted to holiday lets.
